Yamantaka Fire Puja

Sunday, 17 September 2023

Below are details on the upcoming 2023 Fire Puja and also information on what a Fire Puja is and the benefits.

The DCI Annual Yamantaka Fire Puja will be held on Sunday, 17 September from 10am – 12 noon followed by a Gratitude Morning Tea. The Fire Puja will be held outside by the Stupa and will be performed by Geshe Wangchen. We are so happy to be able to welcome you in person! If you can’t join us, you can still sponsor offerings and dedications. The last day for submitting online registrations is 14 September.

Following the Fire Puja, we would like to offer a delicious morning tea (chai, sandwiches, sweet and savoury treats, etc.) to everyone as a thank you for all of your kind and generous support over this last year. If you would like to be a part of the offering by making a contribution – either financial or baked goods – please let us know on your Fire Puja Registration Form.

Please note: If you feel unwell on the day of the puja, or have household members who are unwell, we ask that, out of kindness for others, you do not attend the puja in person. We are happy to include your dedications. Thank you very much for your consideration.

The Yamantaka Peaceful Fire Puja is excellent for clearing obstacles – including obstacles to our Dharma practice as well as to success in business, family, health & happiness. Geshe Wangchen will lead the puja. Families welcome. Everyone welcome to attend and participate or observe. This puja is by donation.
